Stage 1 - December 16: Khao Yai National Park - Nakhon Ratchasima, 146.58 km
Selections made on first stage
By CYCLINGNEWS Steve Thomas in Thailand
The sun was out and the skies were blue for the first stage of this year’s Tour de Thailand. Starting from the Khao Yai National Park, to the west of Bangkok, the race will take six days to cover the 999 kilometres to the northern hill city of Chiang Mai, famous for it’s elephants and outdoor activities.
Some 81 riders lined up for the race; teams including Giant Asia, Iran, Japan, India, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia lined up against several European and Asian Continental teams, with Iranian super climber Ahad Kazemi starting as overall favourite. The first stage started high in the park, with a 10-kilometre descent, which unfortunately wiped out three of the Indian team riders almost before the race had started. As soon as the flat lands were reached, the riders hit a nasty headwind which shredded the field to bits.
Coming into the finish two riders were just a few seconds clear of a twenty plus strong lead group, which contained most of the pre-race favourites. The sprint for the first stage win and the opening leaders jersey went to Thai national team rider Prajak Mahawong, while the second half of the field trailed in some five minutes later.
Stage two will see the race hit the first real hills, which should shake things up some, possibly in the favour of the strong-climbing Iranian team.

今年的環泰自由車大賽在晴空萬里之下展開了。從好野國家公園到曼谷的西側，這是一個六天要完成999公里的比賽，目的地為以大象和戶外活動
聞名的北方山城-清邁。
81名選手在起跑線上準備就緒，分別來自捷安特亞洲職業車隊、伊朗、日本、印度、泰國、越南、馬來西亞和數個歐洲車隊，其中更包括了被視為冠軍熱門人選的伊朗的超級爬坡天王歐哈德。第一站由公園制高點出發，首先遇到的是一個長達10公里的下坡。很不幸的，有三位印度的選手在比賽真正開始前就開掉了。回到平路後，強烈逆風的襲擊很快的就將集團撕裂瓦解。
鏡頭來到終點前，兩名選手以幾秒之差衝出領先集團，賽前的大熱門也在其中，最後衝刺贏得首站冠軍穿上黃杉的是泰國國家隊的馬哈旺。過了一會兒，第二集團大約以五分鐘的落差抵達。
第二站將會遭遇到本次賽事的首座爬坡，也許伊朗隊的大熱門爬坡天王將在此取回主導權。
